Add JS to admin panel

    Hi, I’m sure this is just a simple matter of knowing what the action is, but I’ve so far not found it.

    Have a plugin. Need to create options page. Options page is added via

    function sexycalAdminMenu() {
	add_options_page('Birthday Calendar Administration', 'sexyBdayCal', 'manage_options', 'sexyBdayCal', 'sexycalAdminOptions');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'sexycalAdminMenu');

    That part works beautifully, but I want to add some JS which I obviously only want loaded when the options-general.php?page=sexyBdayCal is active.

    I’m having trouble figuring out which add_action I need to use to accomplish that. I’d prefer to add it in the head and not the footer, just because I’m a purist snob.

    Thanks.

    The action is ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’. Your callback must call wp_enqueue_script() to cause the JS page to load. (It loads in head by default but you can specify footer if you wanted to) The callback is passed a reference to the admin page being loaded so you can conditionally enqueue your script. You should probably experimentally var_dump or error_log that reference to be sure of what string to check for in your final callback version.

    This worked –

    function sexycalAdminEnqueueJS($hook) {
	if ((strcmp($hook, 'settings_page_sexyBdayCal')) == 0) {
		wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
		wp_enqueue_script('updateSexyAdmin', (WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/sexyBdayCalendar/js/updateSexyAdmin.js'), array('jquery'), false, false);
	}
}

add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'sexycalAdminEnqueueJS');

    To figure out the hook, I had to first var_dump($hook) but I can see why that is the hook after I saw it.
